Lo, here the last and outmost work for blades!

This is the time that all our valour craves:

This time by due desert restores again

Our goods, our lands, our lives, our weal and all.

This time declares by fates whose cause is best;

This, this condemns the vanquish’d side of guilt.

Wherefore, if for my sake you scorn yourselves,

And spare no sword nor fire in my defence,

Then, whiles my censure justifies your cause,

Fight, fight amain, and clear your blades from crime:
